Just like a thread in one of the Movie threads, did you ever have any misconceptions about anything in the EU?

For me I thought Pellaeon died in The Thrawn trilogy and not Thrawn. Don't ask why I thought this. I just did. The thing that clued me that this assumption might be wrong was the back cover of Darksaber.
I also thought The Joiner King came out in June 2005 and not July. I was so crushed to learn I had to wait another month to get it.

It's been so long since I first the Jedi Academy trilogy I can't remember my first thought about a reborn Emperor and technically there is a book between TTT and JAT. Isard's Revenge . Okay not what you wanted but still true.

I was almost 110% Nom Anor survived TUF. After everything he'd been through in 20+ books, there was no way a villain of his caliber could so casually walk into an off-screen death.

I knew with absolute certainty that there would be a scene before the end of the book where an unnamed Yuuzhan Vong with a mechanical hand would appear on some backwater world looking to stir up trouble. I was more sure that this would happen than I've been about anything in my life.

Thanks mostly to the brilliance of Matt Stover pulling the wool over my eyes, I did not see that Jacen had clearly gone dark during the NJO and brought the rest of the order with him, I thought everyone involved actually learned something new and true.

It's a bit different to most of these misconceptions but when I first read the scene where Luke, Ben and Saba go to confront Cadeus I was sure that Saba was going to die. I had to put the novel down mid way through reading that part to go to work and I didn't pick it back up for several days because I didn't want to read her death.

for years I thought TFN boards were the official star wars boards... until someone told me there is a website even more official than TFN... d'oh! really! what a disappointment when I saw the true official website.

also I once dreamed that I visited the bookstore to get another YJK book, a nonexistant one and can clearly remember the cover art, first chapters story, title, etc. all, even hours after I woke up I searched all house for the book I thought I really bought and wanted to continue reading... *sigh*

inuniverse.. well:

I still believe my misconceptions even if proven wrong on some already

amongst them:
- The Emperor once tried to get 16 year old Leia to marry him which Bail averted by sending her to Ladies school.. I still swear there was some old obscure source claiming that backstory!
- Winter was at the Yavin IV celebration at the end of ANH offscreen... thx to Scoundrels, she was not despite a Galaxy card depicting her in a dress there!
